BUFFALO, N.Y. — 2 On Your Side's Scott Levin sat down with 23rd Congressional District candidate Nick Langworthy for a wide ranging interview. The interview included why he’s running for the seat while continuing to be the state Republican party Chairman, his view on gun control, his platform to help Western New Yorkers, his relationship with candidate Carl Paladino and former President Donald Trump, and how he feels he can make a difference in Washington, D.C.
Langworthy has been in politics a long time. The Southern Tier native worked alongside former Congressman Tom Reynolds, and worked his way up from Erie County Republican Chairman to State Republican Chairman.
On Friday Langworthy made it official that he is running for his first elected office, the 23rd Congressional seat being vacated by current Congressman Chris Jacobs.

It was a wide ranging interview that also included a discussion on inflation, guns, and whether he should keep his current position as party chair while running for office.
